Eligibility and entrants

{{Main|Eligibility for the NBA draft}}

The draft is conducted under the eligibility rules established in the league's 2017 collective bargaining agreement (CBA) with its players' union, with special modifications agreed to by both parties due to disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The previous CBA that ended the 2011 lockout instituted no immediate changes to the draft, but it called for a committee of owners and players to discuss further charges.

  • All drafted players must be at least 19 years old during the calendar year of the draft. In term of dates, players who were eligible for the 2022 NBA draft must have been born on or before December 31, 2003.
  • This draft could have possibly been the first in which high school players of any nationality would have been eligible for selection after their graduation as the two associations sought at first to lower the minimum age back to 18 and end the need to wait one year after their high school class graduated, also called the "one and done" requirement, as discussed in 2019.{{Cite news |last=Wells, Adam |date=April 11, 2019 |title=NBA, NBPA Reportedly Targeting 2022 Draft to End One-and-Done Rule |work=Bleacher Report |url=https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2830591-nba-nbpa-reportedly-targeting-2022-draft-to-end-one-and-done-rule |url-status=live |access-date=March 11, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201101134557/https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2830591-nba-nbpa-reportedly-targeting-2022-draft-to-end-one-and-done-rule |archive-date=November 1, 2020}} If approved, the current CBA might have to be amended and the amendment ratified. However, the ineligibility for the draft shortly after high school remained in place, as reported in 2020, unless there were further discussions about its repeal.{{Cite news |last=Ward-Henninger, Colin |date=April 17, 2020 |title=NBA won't eliminate one-and-done rule any time soon, with discussions stalled over one key issue, per report |work=CBS Sports |url=https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/nba-wont-eliminate-one-and-done-rule-any-time-soon-with-discussions-stalled-over-one-key-issue-per-report/ |url-status=live |access-date=March 11, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210226020858/https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/nba-wont-eliminate-one-and-done-rule-any-time-soon-with-discussions-stalled-over-one-key-issue-per-report/ |archive-date=February 26, 2021}}
  • Since the 2016 draft, the following rules are, as implemented by the NCAA Division I council for that division:{{Cite web |last=Goodman |first=Jeff |date=January 13, 2016 |title=College players given extra time to mull NBA draft decision |url=https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/14564613/date-nba-draft-commitment-pushed-may |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160713103619/http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/14564613/date-nba-draft-commitment-pushed-may |archive-date=July 13, 2016 |access-date=March 11, 2022 |publisher=ESPN}}
  • Declaration for the draft no longer results in automatic loss of college eligibility. As long as a player does not sign a contract with a professional team outside the NBA or sign with an agent, he retains college eligibility as long as he makes a timely withdrawal from the draft.
  • NCAA players now have 10 days after the end of the NBA draft combine to withdraw from the draft. Since the combine is normally held in mid-May, the current deadline is about five weeks after the previous mid-April deadline.
  • NCAA players may participate in the draft combine and are allowed to attend one tryout per year with each NBA team without losing college eligibility.
  • NCAA players may now enter and withdraw from the draft up to two times without loss of eligibility. Previously, the NCAA treated a second declaration of draft eligibility as a permanent loss of college eligibility.

= Early entrants =

Players who were not automatically eligible had to declare their eligibility for the draft by notifying the NBA offices in writing no later than at least 60 days before the event. For the 2022 draft, the date fell on April 24. Under the CBA a player may withdraw his name from consideration from the draft at any time before the final declaration deadline, which usually falls 10 days before the draft at 5:00 p.m. EDT (2100 UTC). Under current NCAA rules, players usually have until 10 days after the draft combine to withdraw from the draft and retain college eligibility. They must have withdrawn on or before June 1, 22 days prior to this draft.

A player who has hired an agent retains his remaining college eligibility regardless of whether he is drafted after an evaluation from the NBA Undergraduate Advisory Committee.
